Simple One (the emcee) & Captain Crook (the beat maker also known as Klaus Layer) remind the US how to represent real hip hop! Boom Bap happens to be my favorite genre of rap music. This sound is why I say the early to mid nineties was a very strong period for hip hop.

Prentice Powell -The System
I found this piece and decided it was too good to not showcase it. It exemplifies exactly why I feel there needs to be a home for spoken word in the hip hop culture. Unfortunately, it seems that the art form has not been acknowledged when it comes to rap music. Rap is just that, Rhythm And Poetry, right? Watch this video and tell me if I'm wrong.
Prentice Powell- "The System". Performed on the Arsenio Hall Show
